What it is

Stone ground blue corn is a type of dent corn, a variety of maize, that has a distinct blue or purple hue. It is grown and harvested like other corn varieties. The term "stone ground" means it is milled between two stones, which is a traditional method that can result in a coarser texture than modern roller milling.

Why it's used

Blue corn is often used to make tortillas, chips, masa, and baked goods, providing a unique color and slightly different flavor profile compared to yellow corn. Manufacturers use it primarily for its visual appeal and as a whole grain ingredient.

Health notes

Blue corn is a source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, including anthocyanins which give it its color. The FDA considers corn to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated corn and its components. Evidence suggests that diets rich in whole grains and antioxidants may support overall health.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten is not present in corn.
